Night/Day - Mae

I’ve been dreaming such a long time

And I’ve been waiting for the sunshine

But all my friends they say I’m getting by

With sleeping in

They say I’m sleeping in

You know whenever I try I want to get it right

But I distract my focus and blur my own sight

'Cause I’ve convinced myself that

My best can only come in the moonlight

And I keep sleeping in

I keep on sleeping in and missing something

Close your eyes before the daylight breaks

There are things about me I just can’t ignore

I know I want to change when I see that door

On the other side, daylight decides there will be war

With sleeping in

Oh, I know there’ll be no more sleeping in, yeah

I wait, I wait, I wait only in jest

I wait, I wait, I wait with no need to rest, I wait

«The day, the day, the day will come again,» I say

A ray of light can only get in if I say

I’ve been putting off this purification

A rebirth and regeneration inside of me

And I’ve been saying no for far too long

Even though something brand new is coming out of me

I’m going to wake up, wake up every morning

And then decide

I’m going to wake up, wake up every morning

And make it mine

Rain or shine

I wake, I wake, I wake and greet the day

The light is all the change is made I can see my way

The day, the day, this day is come again

Each ray of light will make its way into the core of me

I always knew I was missing something

I know this time I will leave nothing up to chance

And in the wake of this brand new day

I see the light and I feel the sun

And I’ll do it all again tomorrow

I’m going to wake up, wake up every morning

And then decide

I’m going to wake up, wake up every morning

And make it mine
